CAUTION

All cables attached to the expansion chassis must be securely fastened. When you hear a “click,” it is properly secured. If not securely connected, the connectors may cause intermittent or lost connections.

NOTE

If at all possible, plug all power cords from the expansion chassis and your host computer into a shared power strip, preferably one that has surge and noise suppression circuitry built into it.

Laptop Installation (optional)

In addition to interfacing the EB7-x8 expansion system to a PC, you can now add additional PCI Express slots to your laptop by installing Magma’s ExpressCard host and connecting it to your chassis with a dedicated iPass-to-TDP cable featuring an iPass interface on one side and a TDP interface on the other.
